A’ Design Award Recognizes Enosichthon, a Three Seat E Hybrid Hypercar Prototype Shaped by an Original Trident Grammar
COMO, CO, ITALY, July 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The A’ Design Award has announced Enosichthon, a concept hypercar created by ChenYang Shen, as a Bronze winner in the Car and Land Based Motor Vehicles Design category. The A’ Design Award is a highly respected international design competition that evaluates entries across all industries, and the Car and Land Based Motor Vehicles Design category stands as a well-recognized recognition within the field of automotive design. This recognition acknowledges Enosichthon as an outstanding example of good design, distinguished through a rigorous and impartial evaluation. The Bronze A’ Design Award affirms the careful development and technical grounding that ChenYang Shen brought to the project. The achievement positions Enosichthon among designs noted for creativity and practicality in the automotive sector.
The Car and Land Based Motor Vehicles Design Award holds relevance not only for ChenYang Shen but also for the broader automotive industry and prospective stakeholders. Enosichthon addresses current interest in electrified hybrid mobility, modular maintenance, and expressive form, all areas of growing importance within contemporary vehicle development. Its detachable and replaceable body modules respond to a practical need for rapid inspection and service in track focused professional use. By coordinating energy delivery and thermal management through a hybrid architecture, the design reflects evolving industry standards in performance and efficiency. The project demonstrates how narrative and engineering can be united to serve both function and identity.
Enosichthon, also designated Keteus V14 E Hybrid, is an original three seat electrified hybrid hypercar prototype named after a title of Poseidon in Greek mythology. The design is organized by a proprietary trident grammar, a design language created for this project, where three force lines coordinate structure, aerodynamics, lighting, and cabin layout into one readable system. It employs the Nereid hybrid system with three inverted high rate NCA battery modules and an integrated inverted electrode cell for coordinated energy management. Drawing on abstract marine biomimicry, the form reinterprets motifs including a humpback whale tail, megalodon teeth, gill structures, and a giant squid arm crown into a cohesive contemporary expression. Careful attention to panel alignment, surface curvature, and airflow management gives the prototype an expressive yet technically grounded character.
This recognition offers ChenYang Shen a foundation for continued exploration at the intersection of storytelling, marine biology, and future mobility. The Bronze A’ Design Award may inspire further development of the trident grammar across surfaces, structure, and lighting, while reinforcing a disciplined approach to integrating narrative with engineering. The honor serves as motivation to pursue projects that balance symbolic depth with practical feasibility. It encourages further iteration in advanced modelling and aerodynamic concepting within The Sixth Dimension Studio.
Project Members
Enosichthon was conceived and executed entirely by ChenYang Shen, who undertook the design language, the fusion of mythological and biological motifs, the hybrid powertrain and suspension architecture, the cockpit design, and the continuous iteration and review that kept the system coherent throughout the process.
